Making Your SocialToo SocialSurveys a Little more “Social” With User Commenting
Brian Solis just released statistics surrounding the Twitter Bowl 2009 project SocialToo did in conjunction with Brian, Louis Gray, Jeremiah Owyang, Chris Heuer, and Guy Kawasaki. The results were fascinating – Brian reports (and we noticed) that the overall discussion of #superbowlads on Twitter was grossly less than that of last year. However, voting was very successful – for every 1 Tweet about #superbowlads, 3 of you voted on the survey or visited the site. We saw an increase in 500 users from this survey, and the results showed that those on Twitter and Facebook vote significantly different than the general population (and the varied polls across the nation all show different results amongst different target groups). My hope is that we can continue to do this, and provide similar experiences for you to share with your own audience.
For this reason, I’m proud to announce that the commenting you saw around the Twitter bowl we are now making available to everyone. There is a new checkbox, defaulted to checked, that says “Enable Comments” when you create a new survey now. Leave that checked, and now any SocialToo user can comment on the surveys you create. When users comment on your survey, an @reply goes to you, along with a link back to the survey with their comment on Twitter. You may have seen similar functionality via the popular picture sharing site, TwitPic.
I’m pleased with the results of the Tweet Bowl, and I think it shows that Twitter continues to be a valuable source of information about where the interests of people lie and what they’re interested in. SocialToo SocialSurveys are just one more tool on SocialToo to make it easier for you to manage the people you follow, and know more about who those people are. We’ll continue to build on this principle so stay tuned as we seek to build a useful companion to the Social Networks you frequent.
